The most difficult and complex Gospel is made clear

The general sketch of the book of Matthew is that Christ is Jehovah God incarnated to be the King-Savior who came to establish the kingdom of the heavens (the heavenly rule) by saving His people from sin through His death and resurrection. Thus, Matthew is a picture of Christ as King. One point that I enjoyed in particular by reading this life study was that for the first time I could really appreciate the geneology of Christ. For many years, I skipped over this introductory section, but that is a mistake for there is much to be gained there. It shows that Christ was descended from all kinds of people - kings, called ones such as Abraham, those carried into captivity, and even some backsliders. Also, this study does an excellent job of explaining the "beatitudes". For example, did you know that to be "poor in spirit" is just to be emptied in your spirit, ready and open for whatever the Lord has for you to receive? The individual life-study of Matthew may no longer be available for purchase, but it can be bought in an 8 volume set along with other life studies of the New Testament, as part of the life study of the entire New Testament, or as part of the life study of the entire Bible. Also, if you would like to examine the contents before you purchase it, all of the life studies of the Bible are available for you to examine online at the website of the Living Stream Ministry.
